Wild Animals

Wild animals can be found all over the world.
I love how many different types of species there are of animals. When I go for a walk in the park by my house, it is seldon that I do not see a squirrel, a racoon, or a deer.

As I mentioned before, both of my parents are originally from Poland and they both grew up on farms. When we go visit, I'm exposed to animals such as horses, cows, ducks, chickens roosters and others.


Did you know that a rooster is a male chicken? Or that a "Peacock" is a male Peahowl?
